The ocean view and beach access cannot be beat. Love the two buildings with three bedrooms each. The layout worked really well for a big family. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is that it claims to sleep 14 people however they don’t provide you with enough basics for anything over a two day stay. Two trash bags, one dishwasher detergent pack, NO laundry detergent, minimal toilet paper (we had to buy more after day 3), no cleaning products, etc.

Family time

We all had a great time! The location was superb, bicyclesl were much used. Plenty of space. Furnishings were very dated, rug in living room very dirty. No way to get outside ventilation. Landscaping really needed to be cleaned up. But it certainly served its purpose - was great for family time!

4 Out of 10. The beach is privately held and you are not allowed to use personal chairs or tents, you must rent them. Furniture is overdue for replacement. A live electrical outlet had exposed metal from a broken appliance plug. There was a chair placed in front of it to "protect" children from touching it. No compensation by management was made after asking for it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We do wish we had known about your concerns during your visit, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to address them right away and make your stay more comfortable. Many issues can be resolved quickly when we're made aware in the moment, and it's always our goal to ensure every guest feels cared for during their stay. Regarding the beach access and information you received from the beach chair vendors, we're sorry for the confusion. The beach is not private, and unfortunately, it sounds like the vendor you encountered may have provided you with incorrect information. Personal beach equipment is allowed and we're sorry you didn't have the opportunity to use yours. Had we known at the time, we would have been happy to clarify things so you could fully enjoy the beautiful beach experience our area has to offer. We appreciate your stay and your feedback, it helps us improve for future guests.

Very good; very bad

Very Good: this is an older but updated house that worked perfectly for our family, mostly because it's right on the beach one house from an access point. Very Bad: all 16 of us arrived at the scheduled time but we couldn't move in because it HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED. RealJoy scrambled to find people to do a quick, partial clean but we had to mingle around outside for a few hours before unloading our cars. AND literally hundreds of rowdy teens gathered on the beach every night right in front of the house. VERY NOISY and VERY BIG MESS to clean up.

Walter, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are happy to hear that the property worked well for your family. We sincerely apologize that the unit was not cleaned prior to your arrival. The cleaners locked their keys in the car which caused them to arrive late and push your check-in time up an hour. We appreciate your patience with this issue and hope that the partial refund we gave you helped ease your frustration. A lot of people want to visit our beautiful beaches this time of year and it can get crowded with rowdy teenagers celebrating their Spring Breaks. We're glad that you enjoyed being right on the beach and we hope you had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

great, but minor improvements needed

great, but - there are 3 locked doors and we received only 2 door codes. - ice dispenser broken and far too slow for 16 people. ice trays in second fridge would help. - renters should know there's no garbage pick-up on Mondays out of season. - light above DR table is out.

Walter, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your great stay in this beachfront home. There are only two codes needed for the doors. Please accept our apology for the ice dispenser not working properly. Extra ice trays have been added and the inspector has reported that the ice maker is working. Normally trash is picked up on Mondays and Thursdays year-round. We also have someone pick trash up on Saturdays, when someone is checking in. The light above the dining table has been replaced. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Great location, spacious home - Needs updating and a good cleaning

We arrived to Butterfly Bluff and immediately fell in love with the location. Perfectly located within a short 5 minute walk to downtown Seaside and only steps away from beach access. We were blown away by the beautiful view of the water when you first walk into the home! But we were also met with sand all over the floor and furniture, leftover food remnants on the living room floor, a plunger and toilet bowl brush left in the tub, and a dirty swimsuit hanging to dry. We also noticed that all of our feet turned black from walking around the house, making it clear the floors had not been properly cleaned in quite some time. We didn’t expect perfection from a rental but certainly we’re not pleased with the level of cleanliness, especially for the extremely high cleaning fee, which was several hundred dollars higher than other homes in the area. We reached out to management and they said they would send someone over but they didn’t arrive until the next day, after we already cleaned ourselves. Overall, we loved the location, space, and views that the house provided but would likely find another home in the future.

Butterfly Bluff

Excellent location was the best selling point other than the price to rent. Property is very dated, but was clean (besides windows) and had needed amenities. Master bedroom was missing the mattress sheet, but was corrected the next day after notification. Very easy check in and out process and was available and handled the sheet issue promptly. No other concerns or issues.

Kevin, we are happy to know that you liked Butterfly Bluff's excellent location, it was clean, check-in and check-out were very easy, and the issue with the missing sheet was promptly handled. Butterfly Bluff is a beloved family home that was constructed in 1965, well before Seaside or Watercolor were established. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

Such a Gem !!!

We had such an amazing time at your property !! It is so convenient to the center of Seaside and has a beach access right next door. You can’t get any better than this staring out at the ocean from your back patio and living room. The house is so comfortable and has everything one could need. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us !!

Best of the best location

Location was easy walking distance from seaside and beach location was away from the Condos toward Seagrove which means less people on beach in front of the house. The house had great views which never got old. The house is mostly untouched since the 60s when it was built with cool floors and walls and retro furniture. It is not super fancy but we really enjoyed the home and the kids enjoyed having their house in the annex. Again just a great location. We have been to this area several times and we liked this location.
